691. Negotiations begin

After the two sides met, they shook hands with each other and sat down in the conference room???????? w?ena`com

Zhou Fangyuan's Japanese is very poor, he can only say some simple greeting words, which he learned from anime. In addition, I learned some from the movie, and I believe everyone understands it, so it is impossible to expect him and Fuso to be normal to each other, he is not at that level.

Some people may be curious, Zhou Fangyuan is now in this position, should he learn some Japanese? Not only Japanese, but also the world's mainstream languages, such as French, German, Spanish, etc., should he also learn some of them? After all, his career is getting bigger and bigger, he is spending more and more time abroad, and he has more and more contact with foreigners, so it's always good to know more foreign languages, right? Not to mention communicating with the other party or anything, it's always a good thing to master a little other people's language, right?

This kind of plot should be there all over the world, just like Chinese people always treat foreigners who can speak Chinese or something, and if they can communicate, many things will be much more convenient.

Of course, the truth is like this, but Zhou Fangyuan doesn't want to do it. He likes his own language, or rather, he loves his own language, loves his own country and national culture, English is no way when he goes to school, the school is mandatory to learn, and English is indeed the most extensive language in the world, he can master some simple conversations before, slowly, more dialogues, this level will come up.

But other foreign languages? Sorry, Zhou Fangyuan is reluctant to learn.

Japanese is because he has watched too many anime and movies, and he has barely learned a sentence or two, so to speak, Zhou Fangyuan learns more based on interest, he will not learn the language of other people's people because he wants to communicate better, or wants to talk about business with the other party or something, he is too lazy to do that, and he is not willing to do that.

Anyway, English is enough, and if you don't even know English, you can communicate directly through a translator, and he doesn't have the spare time to master one foreign language after another.

Anyway, he firmly believes that as long as his company is strong enough, he doesn't have to worry about business not being negotiated, and the business that can't be negotiated will not be changed because he has mastered the other party's language, and he can't tell which is more important, so he doesn't have to do business.

The group sat down separately, and the translator who followed Zhou Fangyuan immediately started to work and translate for Zhou Fangyuan.

Ben Xiansan looked at Zhou Fangyuan with a curious expression, "Although I have heard of Zhou Sang's name for a long time, I am still surprised by what I saw with my own eyes, you are really too young, when I was your age, I was still working part-time for others." ”

"Mr. Ben has an overreputation, I just caught up with a good era, just in time for the development of the Internet. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"It's not that simple, the trend is always changing, but there aren't many people who can really keep up. I have seen too many outstanding young people over the years, but as far as I can see, no one can compare with Zhou Sang, I have studied your deeds, in my opinion, your most powerful place is vision, you can always find the most suitable investment opportunities, and the most suitable investment time, and as far as I know, so far, all your investments have not really failed. This is not easy, there are countless people who can guarantee their success, but there is no one who can never make mistakes so far, Zhou Sang, you are really amazing. ”

Ben Xiansan said with emotion.

And this is actually not just his own feelings, there are countless people who have studied Zhou Fangyuan, and they will express similar feelings.

From the original fast food chain, to the later agricultural company, to the Internet, and then to the present, the two fields of smartphones and computer games go hand in hand, Zhou Fangyuan has become one of the top few people in the world in just a few years, although it is far from the top, but it has also stood at the top of the pyramid. And this step has blocked countless excellent people from the outside, but Zhou Fangyuan has done it, so he is better than most people.

Ben Xiansan is not wrong in saying this, after all, who gave Zhou Fangyuan the ability to be a prophet? With such ability, if he can't even do this, then he will be too embarrassed.

Of course, if this ability is given to others, it is impossible for others to do better, but there is no way, who makes the person with such an ability Zhou Fangyuan.

After a brief pleasantries, the two sides got down to business and began negotiations around the acquisition and acquisition.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan wants to buy Capcom, acquire most of its shares, and achieve the effect of holding, Capcom's value is very high, and many IPs can help Yuanfang Group, so he hopes to eat Capcom directly. For this purpose, a large amount of money has been specially prepared. However, Ben Xiansan doesn't really want Zhou Fangyuan to control Capcom, and the reason is very simple, "This is my child."

Every time he talks about this, he is very emotional.

Obviously, Ben Xianzo has a deep affection for Capcom's company, and Capcom's company is like his own child to him, and of course he is reluctant to let go.

This is very understandable, and he is unwilling to let Zhou Fangyuan completely give up control of the Yuanfang Group.

But the current situation is actually largely out of the minds of the Honsan, so why do you say that? In the final analysis, it's because of changes in the gaming world.

Fuso people are more stubborn and nostalgic, so the development of computer games in Fuso has not been very good, which can be seen from the future. At a time when computer games have become popular in other major countries, Fuso is still a world of arcades and handheld consoles, and the development of computer games in Fuso has always lagged behind. So if you only keep such a market, Capcom will certainly not have much of a problem. But Capcom is facing the global game market, and in this era, computer games are rising rapidly and seizing the market for other types of games in a posture that they can't resist at all, and companies like Capcom are beginning to suffer from the impact on a global scale.

Although they also want to make the transition to computer games, to be honest, it is very difficult for the Fuso people to make a smooth transition due to their stubbornness. So if Capcom wants to maintain the current momentum, or even go further, transformation is something they have to consider.

At this time, the cooperation of Yuanfang Group is very important.

After all, Yuanfang Games is now one of the most successful game companies in the world, with three companies: Yuanfang Games, Blizzard Games and Altos-Virtue, Yuanfang Group's game industry layout is global, with rich game types and strong hairstyle capabilities. In this case, Capcom wants to go further, and the distant group is their best choice.

Of course, there are many more powerful game companies, but others are either in the process of transformation, or they don't have time to care about Capcom, or they don't have any intention of cooperating at all. Zhou Fangyuan has heard a sentence since he was a child, that is, "find someone who loves you, don't look for someone you love", this sentence is applied to love, but it also has applications in the shopping mall, Capcom is of course willing to choose the company they are interested in to cooperate, rather than them rushing to find a company to cooperate, the face of a large company is on the one hand, on the other hand, it is also the most important aspect, that is, if they take the initiative to find a company to cooperate, they have fallen into disadvantage.

As a party with demand, their right to speak will be greatly reduced. Conversely, if they are the one being asked, they have a certain voice, which is important. Especially for an ambitious and capable person like Ben Xiansan, he has been through ups and downs all his life, and now in the face of new challenges, he doesn't want to sit in the back as a spectator, he still hopes to rush to the front and be a heavy general.

Therefore, this negotiation must not be completed in a day or two, so when the two sides began to negotiate, Ben Xiansan invited Zhou Fangyuan to sit in his tea room.

The opinions of both sides have been very clear, Ben Xiansan does not want to give up the controlling stake, and Zhou Fangyuan wants to get the controlling stake, which will depend on which of the two sides has more firm will and more hole cards. Both sides have a dedicated negotiation team, and they will collect all kinds of information and intelligence of the other side to increase their leverage, and at the same time lower the other party's demands, such as lowering the stock price, such as reducing the resistance of the other party, etc., in short, it is very useful.

Because the bottom line of both parties has been told to their own employees, all operations can be handed over to the professional negotiation team below, and there is no need for the boss to negotiate directly there.

Zhou Fangyuan followed Ben Xiansan to his tea house, which was a small room, only about ten square meters. The floor is covered with tatami mats, and there is a low table in the middle with various tea sets on it.

Fusang people love to drink tea, and the history is also very long, probably from China during the Sui and Tang dynasties. It's just that Chinese people drink tea now, and basically all they drink is tea, and many people in Fusang still follow the ancient method and like matcha. Matcha, Zhou Fangyuan has drunk it before, and he doesn't like to drink it very much, but from the perspective of nutrient utilization, the nutritional utilization of matcha is indeed better than making tea, and the tea is not delicious to eat directly, but if it is crushed and drunk into the stomach, it is still better than eating tea directly. As for making tea, it is to brew out various beneficial substances in the tea leaves, and then drink them into the stomach. But no matter how serious the brewing is, it is definitely not as direct as crushing the tea leaves and drinking them directly, which is from the perspective of nutrient utilization.

But in terms of taste, Zhou Fangyuan still prefers the way of making tea, he likes the feeling of freshness and elegance.

The two sat down separately, and Ben Xiansan began to make matcha for Zhou Fangyuan, although Zhou Fangyuan didn't like to drink it, but the guests were as they pleased, since they were on other people's territory, they didn't have so many requirements.

While drinking tea, the two chatted.

Oh, by the way, the translator followed.

Zhou Fangyuan and Ben Xiansan have no friendship after all, so the content of the chat was very simple at the beginning, just casual chatting and blowing each other's business. But slowly, the two talked more and more deeply, especially when Ben Xiansan talked about the development of the game industry now, he put his posture very low, and humbly asked Zhou Fangyuan for advice.

In fact, there is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and Ben Xianzo himself can see the direction of future development, but he is not sure yet.

Zhou Fangyuan's shareholding has been determined, but now it is impossible to determine what the shareholding amount is, so speaking of which, the two are now partners, so Zhou Fangyuan has a lot to say.

"I think the future of gaming is probably in two major areas, video games on the one hand, and mobile games on the other. ”

"Oh?"

Ben Xiansan showed a surprised expression when he heard this, "Aren't you optimistic about computer games?"

"It's not that I'm not optimistic, but I think that computer games will gradually decline in the future, and the real power is still video games and mobile games.

In fact, it is very simple to think about it, with the development of society, today's society, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, I believe you can also notice this. Well, since that's the case, the biggest constraint of computer games arises, because it's inconvenient. Even the lightest laptop, it will be inconvenient to carry it for a long time, not to mention that the configuration of laptops is generally worse than that of landline computers of the same grade, and some large gaming laptops are difficult to drive, even if they are brought up, because of the high load for a long time, the wear and tear of computer hardware will become very large. ”

"But what does this have to do with the decline of computer games?"

Ben Kenzo asked.

"It's not a decline, as long as computers are not eliminated, computer games won't really decline, but mobile games and video games will definitely rise in the future. This is not only because of the accelerated pace of life, but also because of the increasing pressure of life, and all but a few developed countries with small populations are becoming more class-divided, and this will not change for more than a decade. Class differentiation has led to the increasing pressure on the lives of the lower classes, but they need to relax, they need entertainment, so the market for casual games will become bigger and bigger. And this happens to be the strong point of the world of video games, which goes without saying that you know that.

Speaking of mobile games, because the pace of life is getting higher and higher, ordinary people will have less and less free time, and they will increasingly lack the time to sit in front of the computer for a long time to play games, so mobile games will develop rapidly. Because mobile phones are lightweight, they can be carried with them anytime and anywhere, they can make good use of the fragments of time in life, and more importantly, mobile games can be played in any situation, so mobile games are also a big trend in the future.

If you really want to ask me about the future of gaming, I think video games and mobile games are going to be very important. ”
